GDPR data does not have to be deleted if its used for law enforcement or scientific research, so someone like MS can claim the data is kept for AI research, just like Google or Facebook or practically any other company. Show me a business which is not interested in developing their own little AI's? https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/body https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2018/12/body
